These spots in Lake Garda are known for sailing. Each has its own character and conditions.
East shore, slightly south of Torbole. Good for Ora sailing. Cable car to Monte Baldo for views.
The northernmost town. More sheltered but catches the Ora in the afternoon. Good for beginners.
A dinghy or small keelboat rigged for 10–20 knots covers both the Peler and Ora. Freshwater means less maintenance on hulls and fittings.
